Tone & Sound
#31 [Bab. a pair of orange shells]
...• • •...
"Do you want to come here, Kang, eat the meatballs?" Mang Asep came carrying two bowls of meatballs on a tray.
"Yes, Mang. Just put it here." Sahut Beep.
Mang Asep put two bowls of meatballs on a long wooden bench, each next to Tone and Sound.
"Good fun." said Mang Asep.
"Thank you, Mang." replied the Sound.
Mang Asep is gone. His back slowly disappeared.
The sound took a bowl of meatballs, stirred the sauce with a spoon, then began to eat one of the meatballs.
Meanwhile, Nada which incidentally makes meatballs as one of his favorite foods even did not take a bowl of meatballs that were beside him. Tone is just watching the sound.
"This beautiful princess isn't a laper?" say a sudden sound.
"No."
Tone's a little surprised. Of course immediately stopped his gaze at the now spiciness-like Sound.
When viewed from the meat dish, it seems that all the spices, sauces, chili, soy sauce, have become one in a bowl. Maybe the bowl has the sound, the sauce or the chili mostly.
The sound of putting the meatball bowl back on the bench. While Nada, reflex takes a tumbler containing mineral water from inside his tootbag, then he gives it to Sound.
"Beep,"
"Yes, Lea?" The sound closes the tumbler, then puts the tumbler next to the meatball bowl.
"Gue's gonna apologize."
"Sorry?"
"Yes, because uda nampar lo yesterday."
"Why are you suddenly apologizing?"
"And what, Lea?" insist Sound.
"Yes, that was... I'm just saying yes it's so complicated."
The sound of dismissing his gaze, "Gue uda sorry you kok. Just relax." The sound of taking off the glasses, "But...."
"But what?"
"Usually if I'm sorry for people, there's got to be a condition for that, Lea."
"Condition?" Confused tone.
"Yes. Usually I tell the guy my nyium, or kayang, yes, at least cosplay so yam yam."
Tone steadied his gaze. Sardonic.
"Why are you so cute, you sound?!" Tone turned his face. Piqued.
"Gue kidding, Lea. hahaha."
"Not funny!"
Who is not upset. Even the most serious thing, if spoken of with Sound, yes, will remain the same. He'll always be kidding. But, Nada also seemed to be holding back a laugh. After all, which humans want to be cosplay yams just for the word sorry?
And for yesterday's incident, somehow Nada suddenly apologized about it. Didn't it, Sound does deserve a slap for giving Tone april mop joke yesterday?
The sound stopped her laughter. "Gue uda sorryin lo, Lea. But tomorrow I'm going to the hospital, yeah."
Nada looked back at Sound, "Why go to the hospital?"
"Entar over there you'll also know." Smiling sounds. Take another meatball bowl. Then eating.
Come to think of it, Nada's attitude slowly began to melt. He is not easily upset anymore, yes, although there will be a reason why Nada must be upset as Sound. After all, even hard stones, over time will also be eroded by rain. Sounds are weird. Sucks. Even the most ridiculous man Nada has ever known. But Sound has a heart, and Tone has feelings.
Smiling sky. Drizzle disappeared. One by one the customers of Mang Asep restaurant went. Similarly with the Tone and Sound that rushed home as well.
Nada accepted that condition. The conditions given Sound. Tomorrow they will go to the hospital. Iganla. The sound did not tell what time, which hospital, or why they went to the hospital. But clearly, now, the sky blue left the Mang Asep meatball restaurant, and returned down the road. Deliver the princess back to Beethovenstraat.
